Syslog service in pfSense v2.8.1 often stop itself

[aldomoro]

Hi

We use Graylog as remote syslog. If server with Graylog has outage, e.g. is restarted due to updates, syslogd is stopped in pfSense 2.8.1. We did not have this issue in v2.8.0.

Yes, that's the bug discussed here. The workaround rules will prevent it. https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/16362#note-5

@aldomoro Possibly the best use of Service Watchdog. Maybe the only one! :)
